Compliance Overview
An EPC provides a standardised energy efficiency rating (A–G). It is a legal requirement to obtain one before marketing a property for sale or rent. If you are using an estate agent, you remain responsible for ensuring an EPC report is in place.
Compliance Note: While a property can be sold with any rating, it cannot be legally let or rented out if the rating is F or G, unless a valid exemption is registered.
The EICR is a technical assessment of the consumer unit and fixed wiring. It identifies non-compliant wiring, fire hazards, and potential shock risks. A satisfactory report will be provided once all necessary checks are passed.
Compliance Note: Under current legislation, landlords must ensure the electrical installation is safe and provide the report to tenants within 28 days of the inspection.
The Landlord Gas Safety Record (commonly known as CP12) verifies the operational safety of gas appliances, flues, and pipework. A Gas Safe registered engineer performs pressure tests and combustion analysis.
Compliance Note: Failure to maintain a current, valid CP12 is a criminal offence that exposes the landlord to prosecution and invalidates standard property insurance policies.
Yes our platform is built for maximum efficiency. Once you select an initial service such as an EPC and choose your preferred date you can simply select the option to add another service. This allows you to include an EICR or Gas Safety check within the same order seamlessly.
While we strive for back to back appointments to minimise disruption our specialist engineers often operate on different schedules. We always attempt to coordinate a single visit however services may occasionally be scheduled for different times or days depending on professional availability.
Most assessments are completed in under an hour. Properties with complex layouts or significant features like loft conversions and extensions may require additional time for the assessor to record all necessary data accurately.
An EPC remains valid for 10 years from the date of issue. We suggest a voluntary reassessment if you have performed major energy improvements like installing a high efficiency boiler or new insulation to ensure your rating is up to date.
The process usually takes between one and two hours. The exact timeframe depends on the size of your property and the total number of electrical circuits that require testing by our qualified engineer.
UK regulations for rental properties require a new EICR every five years. You should also consider an early inspection if significant electrical work has been carried out at the premises.
A routine inspection covering a standard boiler and cooker typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes to complete by a Gas Safe registered professional.
Yes UK law requires landlords to have all gas appliances inspected annually. This must be performed by a registered Gas Safe engineer to ensure the continued safety of your tenants.
